ExplicitUploading Human Consciousness Into Machines

Can it be done? How will it be done? What will we lose as humans living as bodiless, artificially-intelligent constructs? What are the ethical concerns? We explore that and more.

Curious Apes sits down with Antonio Bonilla to explore his many years as an active member of Portlands poly community. We explore the concepts of jealousy, boundaries, comfort with being alone, and the power to define your own love.

ExplicitEscapism[Drugs, Media, Sex, Working (out)] Why do we do it? When do we abuse it?

When does relaxation move from casual hedonism to abusive indulgence? Are some forms of escapism better than others? Is escapism a healthy coping mechanism, or a dangerous numbing of consciousness that only exacerbates future suffering? What drives us to leave this reality behind for one that is altered by distraction?

Is there actually a gap between people, or have our eyes simply not evolved to see in frequencies that would show us the ways in which we're connected? Is consciousness isolated, or have we just allowed ourselves to believe it's limited to our own nervous system? Is there an akasha, astral realm, or a quantum universe where we all communicate subconsciously, or are we momentary meat prisons awaiting their return to being worm food?
